COL - Christ's Object Lessons (1900)
The word of God is to be our study. We are to educate our children in the truths found therein. It is an inexhaustible treasure; but men fail to find this treasure because they do not search until it is within their possession. Very many are content with a supposition in regard to the truth. They are content with a surface work, taking for granted that they have all that is essential. They take the sayings of others for truth, being too indolent to put themselves to diligent, earnest labor, represented in the word as digging for hidden treasure. But man's inventions are not only unreliable, they are dangerous; for they place man where God should be. They place the sayings of men where a "Thus saith the Lord" should be. {COL 109.1}
Christ is the truth. His words are truth, and
they have a deeper significance than appears
on the surface. All the sayings of Christ
have a value beyond their unpretending appearance.
Minds that are quickened by the Holy Spirit
will discern the value of these sayings. They
will discern the precious gems of truth, though
these may be buried treasures. {COL 110.1}
